The angle that Buttercup is leaning makes me think she might fall, but it sort of looks like she may be hovering a little (though I do wonder if the bolas around her feet make it harder to fly?). It's hard to judge but the new hole (directly in front of Buttercup) seems to be too small for her to fall through (unless she went head/feet first). It's starting to look like Bell may accidentally destroy Sam.

Edit: Ok, so after looking again I can see the dents (from the energy beams) all over that door. So maybe she (or they) won't fall into that particular hole. Maybe the floor/door gives way (since there are a lot of holes in it).

That's what I'm thinking, but don't be too quick to judge about the new hole. Those blast will make new holes making them fall to where Blossom and Bell are. I would cause Buttercup and Samantha to lose balance. I mean, look at their facial expression . About Bell destroying Samantha: It's possible! Bell is seriously pissed, but it could also be Blossom as well since she's deflecting the energy blast randomly like that and its going different places.

For Buttercup, those chains seem heavy for her to even make a move. I think she'll have a slight chance of breaking free and not having to fall face first, but hover down with ease next to Blossom. I think Samantha and Bell will have an argument once Buttercup and Samantha fall where Blossom and Bell are currently. I think Bell will sacrifice Samantha during the 2-on-2 battle.

I have a question. Should we class Samantha as a centipede-type Cluster? I mean, we've seen worm-types, wasp-types, Montray was a bat-type, Kuwagus is a beetle-type and Nool is a grasshopper-type, now I see Samantha as more of a centipede-like cyborg then anything else. What do you think?

I have seen episodes(can't remember which) where Buttercup carried multiple cars, one on top of the other. I pretty sure a few chains are not too heavy for her, however considering they are wrapped around her legs and wrists they are probably really constricting, unless I'm mistaken about where her center of gravity is.

Maybe it's for the clean cut. Personally I think a blunt, sturdy lead pipe is funner to thwack with. 8D

While I do see the advantages of having either a blade or blunt object for up-close and personal, who could possibly see the wrong in a head-shot with cannon.....Oh god...now I feel like playing Halo and blowing up random peoples' asses..

Well, I know what you're referring about, I'm not ruling that out. But with Samantha, those chained bolas look specially made. I mean, her weapons has to. From the cracks those energy blast has done, it seems like Buttercup and Samantha would both lose their Center of Gravity because it was unexpected.

I think BR missed out on the perfect opportunity to have Samantha say "GET OVER HERE!".

I'm gonna go with humanoid centipede.

I don't know. I really wish somebody would hurry up and use that sword already. The question of who it can and can not hurt is killing me.

But that is a really good question. Why hasn't Sam used it? I get the feeling that if she knew the sword was of no use to her, than she would have abandoned it by now.

I think the would look more pimpin', slicing though someones abdomen.

You know, we've never really seen much interaction between Bell an Samantha. I think an argument is totally possible, however I'm not sure rather or not if one either one would turn on the other. I mean, they aren't exactly super best friends, but I doubt there's any hatred there.

As for what I think will happen. Either the fight will turn into a two-on-two, a stray energy blast will takeout Sam, or Buttercup will dispatch of Samantha (using Jack's sword hopefully), and proceed to help Blossom.

I see how Sam's balance would be messed up due to the cracks but I'm pretty sure Buttercup wouldn't be affected, cause from what I saw from the last three panels, she was hovering.

Well, if Samantha loses her balance and fall, Buttercup will be taken down. Since the fact of the matter is that Samantha has Buttercup tied up and is currently touching a surface for her Center of Gravity. They will fall down, but Buttercup has a last minute chance in order still hover around. In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether Buttercup is hovering or not. That chained bola was unexpected in the eyes of Buttercup. If the panel after that showed that she's trying to break free, she would've done so and not be shocked. Therefore, hinting that in the next page, she would have broken free like the cover page of Superman Kryptonite Nevermore, but she didn't. Yes, the chains got destroyed, but the bola on Buttercup's feet will carry the weight, having her plummet downwards due the rule of physics. Because she DOES seem to be struggling to break free and was held defenseless. With such an intense battle between Buttercup and Samantha, I could imagine that they lost a good chunk of their strength while fight amongst each other. I mean, look at them! Buttercup's battered up and Samantha has her flesh tearing off like paper revealing a monstrous look. How much ounce of strength could they possibly have up there? It is also possible that if Buttercup has enough strength to keep hovering, there's a good chance that Samantha will quickly grab on to the bolas that's tied to Buttercup's legs. Depending on how Buttercup falls/lands, that will be up the BeeAre and Bleedman in the next page or two.
